I was lucky enough to try these on at a local boutique, where I discovered that I needed a 26 rather than my relgular 28 (which the store didn't have in stock). In other words, these are cut large and to fit properly you'll likely want to order them a size smaller. The fabric is super soft and the fit means they can be dressed up or down. I am tall (5 feet 10 inches) and the length worked for me--I can roll them up to make them cropped or wear them at their full length which hits my ankles, which is very versatile but may pose problems for shorter people. I have been wearing them constantly & love them! Also, as Shopbop promised, my order arrived 2 days after I placed it--and the I save $30 off the price at my local boutique even after paying shipping, duty, and taxes to Canada!!
